About:
Tile38 is an in-memory geolocation data store and spatial index that supports a variety of geospatial operations. It provides real-time geofencing capabilities and low-latency geospatial queries, making it ideal for location-based applications. The tool offers a drop-in alternative to Redis Geospatial with advanced features.
Key Features:
  • Geospatial indexing and queries
  • Real-time geofencing with pub/sub
  • In-memory performance with persistence
  • REST and Redis protocol support
Use Cases:
  • Real-time location tracking for fleets or assets
  • Geofencing for proximity marketing and alerts
  • Spatial analytics for location-based services
Alternatives:
  • Redis – Redis provides basic geospatial commands, while Tile38 offers more advanced spatial queries and built-in geofencing.
  • PostGIS – PostGIS is a powerful spatial extension for PostgreSQL, but requires a full RDBMS; Tile38 is a lightweight, specialized in-memory store.
